For those whining about a second mic -- MJF literally brings up how he disconnected our mics in the first interview in person. WHY WOULD I GIVE HIM THAT CHANCE???

[@cedricgant8535]

Thank you lol

[@chrismalinowski654]

MJF is just a heel. How are you tired of a heel being a heel? He doesnt have any particular gimmick, he just gets heat naturally. I guess being a consistently great promo and getting more heat than anyone in the industry gets stale 💀💀

[@backupgoalie1007]

To me I think interviewing MJF has to be a bit intimidating. He is always in character and often outwardly hostile. The people that seem to have a history with him seem to always get the best out of him. This interview had some good information and it shows you did your homework and chose good topics to bring up.

[@showbizconnor]

Genuinely the best in the business,. He's gonna go down as an all time great
